recently I heard the Lorenna McKennitt version of this medieval folk song. Her version I found captivating...it was like an invocation, measured and in a voice reminiscent of a crone around a cauldron.
Actually that is a compliment not a criticism...what I mean is that her voice has a hypnotic spell casting effect which I tried to emulate and ended up channeling Helene Bonham Carter instead. Its long and it wont be to everyone's taste, but I thank you if you take a listen This is my first attempt at looping a piece of music...it is rough in parts
The album art is a photo of me. from my growing old disgracefully files

Thank you Zam
Gary what a lovely thing to say I really appreciate you taking the time to listen and leave a comment, and such a gentlemanly one at that. I have kinda botched the pic a bit by colouring the shirt green but the original has won quite a few awards for the photographer

Thank you Zam :)

Loving this!
Love the minimalism in the singing, the lazyness, the truth on it; just telling the words sometimes, and hitting the right notes in the climaxes (is that a word?)
Have to be really good to sing this this way.
I would love an acap version, maybe with second voices singing some penta backgrounds.
Not only this will be in my iPod: all my friends will listen to it.

Gracias!

macoco.

Sung with real feeling and expression, quite haunting too. And as I don't really understand how loops work just from my ignorance I'm impressed that you created the melifluous (sp?) backing from them!! A clever link from the photo it seems, and please carry on growing old disgracefully
